ive been holding for a year now, and going to keep holding. Many waiting to see how to company would cope after the tragic death of SC. Company seem to making all the right moves and argos selling some of their products (one on special offer). Recent results were very good and another good set should really get it motoring. Im positive but you never know. Heres hoping, good luck.

I agree I've been watching for a long time and bought in last week hopefully I'm one of the many who see the company coping very well

HUSTLER - 21 Jan 2005 14:31 - 5 of 15

all the stats look in good shape
but with the tragic death last year
confidence will obviously take time
but signs are the upward trend has begun
hold on for more

regards HUSTLER

good article in shares mag this week, cash loss is a concern everything else looks good.

I smell a rat. The accounts do not add up and there is a 2.8m difference between the balance sheet and the cash flow statement. The stock profile and working captial management seems odd. I have asked for answers from Centurion but not heard anything. I phone this morning and the FD has left with immediate effect. Just doesn't feel comfertable to me.

thanks for the timely alert,Scrip.

Scripophilist. Where is all the cash going. Acquisitions? Investment? Ive been with this company for about a year now and im beginning to get irritated.

Scripophilist - 31 Jan 2005 20:44 - 10 of 15

I have resolved where the cash is moving but whether its realistic or covering something is an open question. At the end of the day it sort of boils down to whether you trust the management or not.

I am not actually long or short it was just something that caught my eye during the prior set of results and a story to be played out I think.

chad - 01 Feb 2005 14:37 - 11 of 15

I am dubious about the management. What attracts me to the company is the potential for growth as more and more cars begin to have TV's and I think they're really well placed with all the car companies they have contracts with.

I don't know if you saw this news but lets hope the new management can sort out any problems For immediate release: 31 January 2005

Anyone out there following this share and if so what are your opinions ?

mayiguo - 08 Apr 2005 13:03 - 14 of 15

I think the recent fall is way overdone, it should be on the way of recovery, hence, some big investors did bottom fishing
